It might even start a legend the mysterious masked lady of Palazzo Lacey... I think there is material for a Mills and Boon novel...

Our hero arrives on an apparently civilised and peaceful planet only to discover that order and "happiness" are maintained through a goddamn commie collective where individuality is actively discouraged, or even ruthlessly suppressed. Our hero tries to teach them of love, humour, and self reliance, with varying degrees of success. Their "otherness" always has a rather "European" flavour to it. Being a dirty Red myself I always rooted for the the likes of Borg. Go alien collective! That Buck adventure sounds awfully like a lot of American TV Sic-Fi.

How such an abjectly sub-par, sub-sub Lee Majors could get through the intensive NASA screening process bewilders me still. How this groin-brain could maintain a position of social prominence amidst a future society of hyper-intelligent AI and gold bikinis bluntly defies explanation. Buck Rodgers was a Tool.

Anyhow, in some roundabout way, Buck persuaded one of the inhabitants to take their mask off - to reveal a fine and distinctly non-disfigured manly face. So Buck drags the guy before the Grand Council (or whatever) and makes some kind of stirring speech about how they're all wearing masks for no reason. At which the Grand Vizier (or whoever)declaims "Show him!" and the entire council take off their masks. To reveal that they all have exactly the same face! Oh - the horror of it!
